Xiaoqing looked towards the kitchen with curiosity.
Zhang Meng smiled and asked in confusion, "Why doesn't he want to work? Isn't he allowed to do this job?"
Xiaoqing immediately shook her head vigorously. "That's not what I meant. I just think it's novel. Sister-in-law, you don't know, my guy comes home every day like a local emperor, sitting with his legs crossed waiting for food. When the child was still young, I asked him to help take care of the child, but he said he was a man and men should pursue careers outside. The housework should be done by us women. Isn't it infuriating?"
"That's right, that's right. My man is the same. He just sits there and waits for everything to be handed to him. It makes me so angry." Xiaolan also complained.
Zhang Meng smiled. It was of course not easy to say anything wrong about the men. After all, the work of a soldier in the barracks was indeed very hard.
Fortunately, at this time, Gu Mingtai came out of the kitchen after chopping something and greeted them calmly.
Then he walked over to Zhang Meng and explained things in a soft voice, "I've almost finished the heavy work here. If there's any other heavy work, don't do it. Leave it for me when you come back. Do you understand?"
Zhang Meng secretly glanced at the four pairs of gossipy eyes looking over here, blushed, and quickly responded, "I know, go train quickly, I don't need your help here."
Gu Mingtai smiled, gently shook her hand, turned around and thanked Liu Fenfang and the others with a gentlemanly smile, then put on his military uniform and left the house.
As soon as everyone left, Xiaolan and the others stared at Zhang Meng with envy.
"Sister-in-law Xiao Meng, I really envy you. Captain Gu is so good to you. My husband has never been so good to me."
"That's right. It makes me want to find another one." Tao Hong snorted.
Zhang Meng smiled embarrassedly and quickly changed the subject, "Aren't you here to help me? Let's go, there are a lot of things in the kitchen that need your help."
After Zhang Meng made a cross, these women quickly put the matter behind them.
As soon as they entered the kitchen, the four of them were dazzled by the things inside.
"Sister-in-law, this stuff in your house is almost enough to last us a whole winter."
Although Liu Fenfang knew that Zhang Meng had bought a lot of things, she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw it again.
"This is rice, right? Is it for eating?" Xiaolan grabbed a handful of white rice and asked Zhang Meng with a distressed look on her face.
Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment and asked stupidly, "This is food, of course it's for eating, how can it be used for looking at?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately attracted four looks of contempt.
"Sister-in-law, I won't help you with this matter. You are such a waste. You eat such good rice like this. No matter how much more rice you have, it won't be enough." Liu Fenfang shook her head.
Zhang Meng looked at them with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Everyone, what did I do wrong?"
She actually let them look at her like a fool.
"Of course it's this food, sister-in-law. Our family eats grains mixed with rice. Don't you think it's a waste for you to only eat rice?" Xiaolan said.
"But don't you think it's a bit hard to eat these grains together?"
Since our family's conditions improved, we have only eaten rice. We have never had any other grains at home.
"No, I think it's delicious." Xiaoqing said honestly.
Zhang Meng opened her mouth, then immediately changed her tone, "Okay, next time I'll buy some more grains to eat together."
As for whether she really bought it, only she knows.
Not to mention that the power of this one person is insignificant, the power of the four of them is as powerful as a flood.
The four of them worked together, chatting and laughing, and in less than two hours they had prepared everything they needed to make for tonight.
To thank the four of them for their help, Zhang Meng gave each of them a cured chicken when they returned.
This cured chicken was brought back from the Zhong family today, and it tastes quite delicious.
At first, Liu Fenfang and the other three refused to accept her, but later Zhang Meng said that if they didn't accept her it meant they didn't want to be friends with her, and only then did she trick them into accepting her.
When the four of them left, they all had embarrassed expressions on their faces.
Night soon fell. Calculating the time for Gu Mingtai and the others to return, Zhang Meng first asked Monk Jingchen to help move the stove and barbecue tools to the large courtyard downstairs.
In the evening, when Monk Jingchen came back from outside and learned that there was going to be a barbecue at home, his attitude immediately became very positive. No matter what Zhang Meng asked him to do, he would complete it unconditionally.
At around seven o'clock, Gu Mingtai returned downstairs with the twelve comrades who had come today.
A group of men saw the raw meat placed in the yard. It was obviously bloody, but it made them drool with greed.
"You're back, come sit down. If anyone wants something to eat, help yourself. We're having a barbecue tonight, and everyone can eat as much as they want. There's plenty of food."
Zhang Meng, who had his back to them, vaguely heard a sound like someone swallowing saliva. When he turned back, he met the twelve wolf-like eyes behind him.
"Sister-in-law, we can eat all these, right?"
Oh my God, there was nothing but meat in front of them, so much meat that they had never eaten so happily before.
Zhang Meng looked at Gu Mingtai.
Gu Mingtai smiled and nodded at her, then immediately turned to look at his comrades and said, "This is what your sister-in-law worked hard to prepare for you. You should thank her."
